FO pay at each is about the same.

IF the company approached us and offered that pay, without us having to give up anything, and added some sweetener to the retirement, and offered it within a month or two of our amenable date, are you seriously saying you don't think that's a good deal for us?

What sort of justification can you offer to support the idea that we deserve significantly more than what our two closest competitors have? And yes, I realize we're only talking about a silly rumor (hadn't actually heard that one myself yet). I'll believe it when I have a TA to vote on.

Anyway, I'm a long time lurker and this seemed like a good time to join the fun!
